My contribution to the party are coasters! I love vintage postcards, especially Halloween & Christmas ones. I found these images online & to my suprise I had quite a few on my PrintShop program. I printed out 4 images that I liked & trimmed them to size using my ripped paper decorative scissors.
Next I Mod Podged them onto these tiles. I bought darker ones that were not tumbled because I wanted a smoother finish.
After they dried, I cut felt squares to size & glued them to the bottom so they won't scratch your furniture.
And wah, lah! Quick & easy, right!
Oh yah, you should do at least 2 coats of Mod Podge...3 would be best. Just to make sure it is liquid proof.
You could use any images that you like. I did pictures of my kids just for fun. I printed the images out in sepia tone & used the tumbled tiles for these. The skies the limit!
If you have a great "I Can Make That" idea, go to the Just a Girl blog & join the party!

Great idea!!!
I've seen stamped tile coasters, but I prefer vintage pics/postcards too. The family photo idea would make a great special event gift or party favor. Thanks for sharing this idea.
I enjoyed visiting your previous post.

I found you blog through the link and all I can say is THANK YOU because I was just about to shell out over $25.00 for coasters at Walgreen's! I took some beautiful pictures of my grandson and wanted to have them on coasters to give to my daughter as a surprise. I will be making them myself now and will make a set for me as well!
THANK YOU for this idea. It's like you gave ME a gift!
Happy Crafting!

Ok, had to comment again because I am laughing. You girls are all talking about giving them to grandparents and here I am, the grandmom, talking about surprising my daughter with them!!!
I was watching our grandson the other day and had bought a little santa outfit at Ross for $5.99!!! Included the hat, too! I dressed him up and shot tons of pics. They are soooo adorable and that's what I am doing to surprise my daughter and her hubby for Christmas.
Too funny.... it's going to be a wonderful holiday season. can't wait to read the rest of your blog! Love the header!!!
